Vintage Tele Vue 15mm Wide Field 2" Eyepiece

This is a used Tele Vue 15mm wide field 2" eyepiece in excellent condition. The optics are clean and the body is unmarked. This includes the original box, and no dust caps. This has been superseded by the newest Tele Vue Panoptic series, whose complete description for the 19mm Panoptic is below, and is not completely applicable to this particular eyepiece. The vintage version has a 65 degree FOV and the Panoptic has a 68 degree FOV. Description: 68° Apparent Field Eyepieces Size, weight and performance make the 19mm an ideal mid power chioce. Ideal "soul-mate" to Bino Vue. Parfocal with smaller Plössls and Naglers. Standard on all Panoptics multi-coatings blackened lens edges filter threads rubber grip rings cover for the eyeguard an undercut in the barrel for extra locking security Al Nagler says of the Panoptics, "Using my Wide-Field design as a starting point, I looked to bring Nagler-like performance to the 60+° field class with the Panoptic series. The idea of a lens to 'interface' between the eyepiece and Barlow struck me as the proper way to keep size, weight and cost to a minimum while improving edge of field performance even further. I later developed this idea into the Powermates."
